Welcome to the Bud & Tender FAQs page. 

We've compiled a list of the most commonly asked questions to help you better understand our premium CBD oil and services.

1. What is the difference between hemp and cannabis?

Hemp and cannabis are terms often used interchangeably. The true botanical name for hemp is Cannabis Sativa L.

2. What’s the difference between hemp and marijuana?

• Marijuana: This variety is THC-dominant with low CBD levels. It's commonly used as a drug.

3. What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-intoxicating phytocannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It impacts your body's cannabinoid receptors indirectly, supporting overall wellness without producing a high.

4. What is THC?

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is an intoxicating phytocannabinoid. Unlike CBD, THC directly affects the body's cannabinoid receptors and is illegal without a medical prescription in the UK. 

5. Are there other phytocannabinoids?

Yes, over 113 known phytocannabinoids exist. Bud & Tender® premium CBD oil includes Cannabigerol (CBG), Cannabichromene (CBC), Cannabidivarin (CBDV), and Cannabicitran (CBT) in addition to CBD. 

6. What is the difference between various UK CBD oils?

• Whole-Plant (Crude): Low-quality, contains waste materials and illegal levels of THC.
• Full-Spectrum: High quality and effective but illegal due to THC content.
• Broad-Spectrum: High quality, very effective, legal, and free from THC.
• Narrow-Spectrum: Legal, contains fewer beneficial compounds due to over-refinement.
• Single-Spectrum (Isolate): Legal, single molecule with limited effectiveness.
• No-Spectrum (synthetic): Lab made CBD

Compare CBD oils to really understand the different spectrums.
